way up to the canadian border back into the rockies and all of that has to cycle through going our direction. tomorrow our temperatures go up. they stay there on wednesday until they start to back off the second half of the week. the reason we will get some relief is this cold front right up in here. there's not so much to advise. first up is a separate front that's trying to leave us. it produces a few of the thunderstorms we're seeing out there this afternoon. as the next front comes our way. we're going to see storms through wednesday. some of these could be strong on wednesday. thursday the front will move through that will keep the chance for showers and thunderstorms around again so on thursday afternoon. after that it will try to push off to the south and that's when our temperatures are going to come down. we do have a little bit of a breeze out of the southwest at

down pratt street into the harbor. you can see traffic on pratt street like all the other streets around downtown gridlocked. reporting live from sky high chopper 13, i'm captain jeff long, back to you. >> complete coverage continues live with christie bresland and more on the delays that this is all causing at the height of rush hour, christie. >> reporter: absolutely mary. i think we all can agree this couldn't have happened at a worse time. as captain jeff had said there's so much gridlock right now on pratt and light street. but traffic is being diverted right now because it's flowing along light street four different breaks where the water is flowing through. so traffic right now mostly being detour to pratt street also fayette street. if you can avoid the area get on 385 and take president street as your alternate. it could be a very long rush hour as you can see. back over to you. all right, christie. thank you. complete coverage continues now with adam may in our newsroom gathering more information on

this for us. >> as we've seen in the past, water main breaks could have a huge impact for businesses. we have been calling around, we've been checking in with restaurants and business. a couple of them have been reporting closures but most will remain open. it gets real muddy because it breaks up the ground that is underneath there so the water begins to flow and it's rushing down there into the inner harbor. what you don't see is drews drew -- crews at the scene. that's fairly typical because they have to figure out e xactly where the shut the water. a couple of years ago there was a huge water main break basically shut down a good part of the city for a number of days. a number of tourists attractions had to close it was a big loss of business for the

city. a few years ago we did a special report on the aging infrastructure in baltimore. you have to remember a lot of these pipelines are very old. they've been dealing with these problems off and on for a number of years. estimates to repair these problems so you don't run into this run into hundreds of millions of the dollars. there's been debates on how to fund these projects. in the meantime with a lack of funding you're just going to see more and more of these problems that's what the experts are predicting. mary that's the latest we have now back to you. >> i think all of us have been paying more attention to it because our water bills just went up. yes they did. >> last week knowing that the infrastructure needs to be repaired. when they finally do get to the scene, when they shut the water off a lot of times they have to dig right there, open the street up and get to work on those pipes. >> and mary you know they just announced here about a week ago

the city was launching a new initiative where they were sending in specialized equipment into some of these water mains that they identified as most accident prone the ones that could really have a problem. the city trying to take some proactive measures to try to prevent these water main breaks. they simply can't get to all of them, here they have this big mess right downtown. the lake mason building is to the left of that. there's a lot of people that are going to be affected by this mary if they don't get this fixed very soon. >> people are remarking the gray color, we'll talk to dtw and bring that to you. >> we will continue to bring you up daytimes as soon as -- bring you updates as soon as we get them. a randall the apartment building goes up in flames, now investors are trying to determine how it started.

were able to get ladder pipes into the fire and extinguish it that way. >> reporter: it took nearly two hours for firefighters to put the flames out. the damage to the building is severe. surprisingly everyone made it out alive. you can hear them going off in the video. >> a bad time in the morning. everybody was asleep and they were awoke by the smoke detectors and got out. >> reporter: chopper 13 over the scene show it is smoke, fire and water damage left behind. repair costs in the hundreds of thousands. and the apartment complex was able to put residents and units that were vacant. kai, back to you. >> rochelle thank you. 11 families were given a place to stay by the red cross. police arrest three men keted to a shooting in -- men connected to a shooting in a bar: detectives say they shot a man saturday during an

for us. >> reporter: we don't nope the dimensions of the water break. we hear there might be flooding in one building. if we can go down to me on light street. if we look down light street you can see the muddy mess down there. they have it closed off in that direction but they are still letting some cars through here. you can see all the water that's flowed downhill to where i am. then if we walk down pratt street here you can see just how backed up all the traffic is because of this water main break. this is just a mess down here in all directions. and with the water is not necessarily all that deep, but it's definitely creating some havoc because this is rush hour and again if we're looking down light street, you can see where they have that road closed. it's near lumbart street, that's where this water main break started. and they are still actively trying to figure out what caused it. still trying to figure out how

large this break is. we've been doing stories of the aging infrastructure, it may have been the heat. we will continue to update you when we can. >> mike, just last week in the news we were talking about two million residents asked to conserve water because they were fixing this water main in southwest baltimore. the aging infrastructure has definitely been in the news. and if you've lived in baltimore for the last five to 10 years you know this has come up in critical spots in downtown baltimore. this is going to be a situation that commuters are clearly dealing with tonight and will deal with tomorrow because many times they have to go in and dig down to see these pipes and this is on a major route on light street. mike, thank you. we see crews, dpw crews behind you there.
